ALMOST $40 FOR 3 LOAVES OF MOLDY BREAD. Do NOT ask for any special orders here. I ordered three loaves of spelt bread to be picked up when they called me the following Friday. They did not call me until Friday evening at approximately 8:00 p.m. hours after they had closed. Because they did not call me when they promised they would, my work obligations prevented me from making it back to the store (which is 40 minutes from my house) until the following Friday. When I arrived, I learned that they were charging me $12.19 PER LOAF, AND THE LOAVES WERE COMPLETED MOLDY (see pictures). When I went to pay for the bread, it appeared that the individual working the cash register attempted to conceal the mold rather than address the problem. I should have refused to pay and simply walked out, but who wants to start and argument with the Amish, right? So, I paid for the bread because I ordered it, and, unlike the workers in this store, I am a man of my word. Adding insult to injury, they did not even bake the bread. Rather, they bought it from Swiss Villa LLC, an Amish bakery in Washington Boro, Pennsylvania, and had it shipped here. I then left The Farmer's Creamery and traveled 3.5 miles down the road The Bakery (on Camp 10 Road) and bought fresh bread for $3 a loaf.

I once had a friend tell me that the Amish are scammers (ironically referring to this same community), and I was highly offended that they would make such an accusation. I’ve also read that the Amish are an extremely closed community who could care less for “the English” as they call us. After this experience, I must say that I have to agree. I will never order any special orders from here again, and my entire idealized view of this seemingly idyllic Amish community has been forever changed.
